The
AudiAudi A4 is a line of compact executive cars produced since 1994 by
the German car manufacturer Audi, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen
Group.
The A4 has been built in five generations and is based on the
Volkswagen GroupVolkswagen Group B platform. The first generation A4 succeeded the
AudiAudi 80. The automaker's internal numbering treats the A4 as a
continuation of the
Audi 80Audi 80 lineage, with the initial A4 designated as
the B5-series, followed by the B6, B7, B8 and the B9. The B8 and B9
versions of the A4 are built on the
Volkswagen GroupVolkswagen Group MLB platform
shared with many other
AudiAudi models and potentially one
PorschePorsche model
within
VolkswagenVolkswagen Group.[3]
The
AudiAudi A4 automobile layout consists of a longitudinal engine
front-engine design, with transaxle-type transmissions mounted at the
rear of the engine. The cars are front-wheel drive, or on some models,
"quattro" all-wheel drive.
The A4 is available as a sedan and station wagon. The second (B6) and
third generations (B7) of the A4 also had a convertible version, but
the B8 version of the convertible became a variant of the
AudiAudi A5
instead as
AudiAudi got back into the compact executive coupé segment.

The first generation
AudiAudi A4 (known internally as the Typ 8D) debuted
in October 1994,[6][7] with production starting November 1994 and
European sales commencing in January 1995 for the 1995 model year.
North American sales later began in September 1995 for the 1996 model
year.[8] It was built on the
Volkswagen GroupVolkswagen Group B5 (PL45) platform,
which it shared with the fourth generation
Volkswagen PassatVolkswagen Passat (B5, Typ
3B). It had a front-mounted longitudinal engine and front-wheel drive.
Many variations of the A4 were also available with Audi's quattro
four-wheel drive system. The A4 was initially introduced as a
four-door saloon/sedan; the Avant (estate/wagon) was introduced in
November 1995 and went on sale in February 1996.
Development began in 1988, with the first design sketches being
created later that year. By 1991, an exterior design by Imre Hasanic
was chosen and frozen for November 1994 production by 1992. The
interior design was later finalized in 1992, with pilot production
commencing in the first half of 1994. Development concluded in the
third quarter of 1994, preceding November 1994 start of
production.[9][10][11][12]
A wide range of engines were available in European markets, between
1.6 and 2.8 litres for petrol engines; and a 1.9-litre diesel
engine available with
VolkswagenVolkswagen Group's VE technology, capable of
achieving a 90 PS (66 kW; 89 bhp) or 110 PS
(81 kW; 108 bhp). The 2.6 and 2.8-litre V6 engines which had
been carried over from the old 80/90 proved popular, although in North
America, the 2.8-litre engine was the only V6 that was available there
until 1997.
The
AudiAudi A4 was the first model in the
Volkswagen GroupVolkswagen Group to feature the
new 1.8-litre 20v engine with five valves per cylinder, based on the
unit
AudiAudi Sport had developed for their
SupertouringSupertouring race car. A
turbocharged 1.8T version produced 150 PS (110 kW;
148 bhp) and 210 newton metres (155 lb⋅ft) torque.
Moreover, a quattro GmbH special edition of the B5 1.8T was later
available in Germany and Europe, for which the engine's power output
was raised to 178 PS (131 kW; 176 bhp) and 235 newton
metres (173 lb⋅ft). Five-valve technology was also added to a
reengineered V6 family of engines in 1997, starting with the 2.8-litre
V6 30v, which now produced 193 PS (142 kW; 190 bhp),
followed by a 2.4-litre V6 which was a downsize from the previous 2.6
litre, 150 hp engine, but with a power increase to 165 PS
(121 kW; 163 bhp).
AudiAudi also debuted their new tiptronic automatic transmission on the B5
platform, based on the unit
PorschePorsche developed for their 964-generation
911. The transmission is a conventional automatic gearbox with a
torque converter offering the driver fully automatic operation or
manual selection of the gear ratios.
The B5 marked Audi's continued move into the midsize luxury car
segment, having started this trajectory notably with later model years
of the preceding
AudiAudi 80/90 B4. Despite initial mechanical problems,
overall build and assembly quality were lauded both by the automotive
press and within
AudiAudi and Volkswagen, and at the time, parent company
VolkswagenVolkswagen declared the B5 the company-wide build quality benchmark
for all its other models.
Facelift (1999.5–2001.5)[edit]

Sedan (facelift)

Avant (facelift)

The
AudiAudi A4 B5 saw nearly constant minor changes and alterations
throughout its seven-year run. Moreover, a significant facelift was
introduced for the 1998 B5 model year at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor
Show, with sales beginning in Europe in early 1998. The 2.8-litre
30-valve
V6 engineV6 engine replaced the 2.8-litre 12-valve. A 2.5-litre V6
Turbocharged Direct InjectionTurbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine with 150 PS
(110 kW; 148 bhp) was standard on the quattro. A six-speed
manual gearbox was available, as well as the new high-performance Audi
S4, now part of the A4 lineup (the previous S4 had been an
AudiAudi 100).
Cosmetic updates included new rear lights, headlights, door handles,
and other minor exterior/interior changes.
In mid-1998, the 1.8 20vT engine available outside Europe had its
power output raised to 170 PS (125 kW; 168 bhp). The
previous KKK K03 turbocharger, although fundamentally unchanged,
received revisions on the turbine side to prevent cracking due to
heat.[citation needed] The 12-valve V6 was replaced by the 30-valve
unit which had been available in Europe for two years.
A further facelift took place across the A4 and S4 platform in
February 1999 as a 1999.5 model; changes were largely cosmetic, but
affected many components, such as both front and rear bumpers, the
front and rear lights, the center console, and door handles.[13] This
facelift was known at
AudiAudi as a Grosse Produktaufwertung (Major
Product Upgrade), as was also signified by facelift cars now carrying
the denomination "8D2".
In 1999
AudiAudi also debuted an even higher performance RennSport model
(rennsport literally translates as racing sport), the RS4 Avant, like
its predecessor RS2, available only in the Avant bodystyle.
Engines[edit]
The following engines were available:

Safety[edit]
In the
Euro NCAPEuro NCAP safety and crash tests, the
AudiAudi B5 A4 received
3 stars for front- and side-impact protection, but the last star
is flagged to indicate that the driver may be subjected to a high risk
of chest injury in the side impact.[15]

Derived hybrid version[edit]
In 1997,
AudiAudi was the first European car manufacturer to put a hybrid
vehicle into mass production, the third generation
AudiAudi duo, then
based on the A4 Avant.[16][17]

The next A4, internally designated Typ 8E, debuted on 10 October 2000,
now riding on the
Volkswagen GroupVolkswagen Group B6 (PL46) platform. The car's new
styling was developed under Peter Schreyer between 1996–1998,
inspired by the Bauhaus design language of the C5 (second-generation)
AudiAudi A6 introduced in 1997. The 1.6-litre base model powerplant
remained unchanged, but most other petrol/gasoline engines received
either displacement increases, or power upgrades. The 1.8-litre
20-valve Turbo was now available in two additional versions, with
150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) or 180 PS (132 kW;
178 bhp), this one with a standard six-speed manual gearbox,
while the naturally aspirated 1.6-litre inline-four engine and
2.8-litre V6 were replaced by 2.0-litre, and all-aluminium alloy
3.0-litre units, still with five valves per cylinder, the most
powerful of which was capable of 220 PS (162 kW;
217 bhp) and 300 newton metres (221 lb⋅ft) of torque. The
1.9
Turbocharged Direct InjectionTurbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) engine was upgraded to
130 PS (96 kW; 128 bhp), with Pumpe Düse (Unit
Injector) (PD) technology, and was now available with quattro
permanent four-wheel drive, while the 2.5 V6 TDI high-end model was
introduced with 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp) and standard
quattro. This generation of quattro consisted of default of 50:50
front to rear dynamic torque distribution. A Bosch ESP 5.7
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system, with anti-lock braking
system (ABS), brake assist, and electronic brakeforce distribution
(EBD) were standard across the range.
The Avant was introduced in June 2001 and arrived in European
showrooms in September 2001.[citation needed]
For 2002,
AudiAudi increased power in the 1.8 Turbo engines to 183 PS
(135 kW; 180 bhp) and 190 PS (140 kW;
187 bhp) – the 190 PS variant designated by a red 'T' on
the boot lid. Available with four wheel drive and in the 2.5 TDI
intermediate version to 163 PS (120 kW; 161 bhp). A 2.0
engine with
Fuel Stratified InjectionFuel Stratified Injection (FSI) was also available. A year
later,
AudiAudi reintroduced the S4, now powered by a 344 PS
(253 kW; 339 bhp) 4.2 L V8 engine, as well as an A4
Cabriolet convertible variant (Typ 8H), finally replacing the 80-based
AudiAudi Cabriolet which had been discontinued in 2000. It included an
electro-hydraulic operated roof, which lowered in under 30 seconds and
incorporated some styling changes, such as body-coloured lower bumper
and sill panels, which later found their way to the saloon version.
AudiAudi introduced a continuously variable transmission developed by LuK,
named multitronic, which replaced the dated conventional automatic
transmission on front-wheel drive models. The transmission won
considerable praise from the automotive press, and is generally
regarded[by whom?] as being the best of its type in the world, due to
its light weight and promptness in response.[citation needed] This
high strength chain driven CVT was made from highly durable metals and
used a very high grade, purpose-designed fully synthetic lubricant.
However, there have been widespread complaints from consumers around
the world that the transmission box is prone to electronic glitches as
well as mechanical problems.[18][19]
Borrowing from the
AudiAudi A6, the boot was redesigned to remove the
extension of the top edge with a smoother fold line. The rear light
assemblies now formed part of the top line, these styling cues were
eventually borrowed by other European as well as Asian
manufacturers.[20]
A sport package named 'Ultra Sport' was introduced in the North
American market shortly before the B6 was replaced by the B7. It
included aluminium interior trim and door sills, "S line" steering
wheel, front and rear spoilers, side skirts, and quattro GmbH designed
18-inch RS4 alloy wheels.
Engines[edit]
The following engines were available:

AudiAudi introduced a revised A4 in late 2004, with the internal
designation of B7. Although given a new platform designation, the B7
was essentially a heavily facelifted and revised version of the B6,
with revised steering settings, suspension geometry,[specify] new
internal combustion engine ranges, navigation systems and chassis
electronics (including a new advanced Bosch ESP 8.0 Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP) system). The front grille assembly changed
to a tall trapezoidal shape in the same manner as the C6
(third-generation)
AudiAudi A6, however the dashboard and interior were
virtually unchanged from the B6 aside from minor detailing.
Audi's internal platform nomenclature uses PL46 (passenger car
longitudinal platform, size 4, generation 6) for both B6 and B7
chassis. The Typ 8E and Typ 8H internal designations are also carried
over from the B6 A4 range, but now have an additional identifying
suffix – 8EC for the saloon, 8ED for the Avant, and 8HE for the
Cabriolet.
The engine lineup received many additions. The 2005 introduction of
Fuel Stratified InjectionFuel Stratified Injection (FSI) on the 2.0 TFSI and 3.2 V6 FSI
petrol/gasoline engines, as well as other refinements, increased power
output to 200 PS (147 kW; 197 bhp) and 255 PS
(188 kW; 252 bhp), respectively. These engines both use a
four-valve per cylinder configuration. The prior 5-valve design was
incompatible with the FSI direct injection system (due to the siting
of the fuel injector, now discharging directly into the combustion
chamber). The 2.0
Turbocharged Direct InjectionTurbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine
now combined Pumpe Düse (Unit Injector) (PD) technology with 16
valves, while the larger 2.5 TDI V6 diesel was superseded by a 3.0 V6
TDI, offering a 204 PS (150 kW; 201 bhp) model during
the year 2005 which was upgraded to a 233 PS (171 kW;
230 bhp) model in 2006. A 2.7 V6 TDI was added later.
TorsenTorsen T-2 based quattro permanent four-wheel drive remained as an
option on most A4 models.
AudiAudi retired its 5-speed manual
transmissions in favour of a new
Getrag 6-speed. As before,
multitronic continuously variable transmission (CVT), now with
selectable 'seven-speeds', was an option on front-wheel drive models,
whilst a conventional ZF 6HP 6-speed tiptronic automatic transmission
was an option on the quattro four-wheel drive models.
In addition to the
AudiAudi S4, which carried over the powertrain from the
B6 S4 –
AudiAudi reintroduced the quattro GmbH developed
AudiAudi RS4 (RS
for RennSport) to the lineup, for the first time on the saloon/sedan
and Cabriolet body, and with a naturally aspirated, but high-revving
4.2-litre V8 FSI engine. Another notable[according to whom?] inclusion
on the RS4 is the latest generation
TorsenTorsen T-3 quattro 4wd system,
which uses a 'default' asymmetric 40:60 front-rear dynamic torque
distribution bias. This new asymmetric centre differential was
initially only available on the RS4, but was added a year later on the
S4. The remainder of the B7 A4 range still used the T-2 50:50 default
dynamic split centre diff.

A variant, developed by quattro GmbH, was first introduced in May
2005, named "
AudiAudi A4 DTM Edition". It was inspired from Audi's race
cars of the 2004 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, and was reintroduced in
2006 as a regular option. The 2.0T FSI engine received revised
software mapping to the ECU, which increased the output to 220 PS
(162 kW; 217 bhp) and 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft) of
torque. It was available with front-wheel drive, or quattro four-wheel
drive.
The B7 Cabriolet model arrived later than the other two body variants,
with sales beginning in February 2006. New on the Cabriolet was an
entry-level 2.0 TDI version, but to date, this is not being offered
with the multitronic CVT gearbox.
In 2007
AudiAudi introduced a version of the B7 named the 'Special
Edition', which built on the S-Line specification and also included
the black optics pack, the RS4 style 8J X 18 '7-arm double spoke'
design alloy wheels, Two-tone Graphite/Black Volterra leather, 3-spoke
sports leather/Alcantara multi-function steering wheel with gear knob
and hand brake handle in Alcantara with silver stitching, ventilated
cross-drilled front disc-brakes, black tailpipes and black roof rails
(avant model only). It also had a power increase of 20PS, giving an
output of 220PS on the 2.0T model.
According to 2007 Swedish vehicle inspection data, the
AudiAudi A4 Avant
with diesel engine is the most reliable vehicle available on the
market, with vehicle inspection rejection rate of 0.0% in
three-year-old category.[23]
SEATSEAT Exeo[edit]
Main article:
SEATSEAT Exeo
When the successor B8 A4 range was introduced, the B7 series A4 was
restyled and rebadged as the
SEAT ExeoSEAT Exeo in 2008 with changes to the
front and rear plus interior trim from the A4 Cabriolet. The entire
AudiAudi B7 A4 production line from Audi's
IngolstadtIngolstadt plant was dismantled
and sent to

SEATSEAT factory in Martorell,
Spain.[24]
Engines[edit]
The following engines were available:

^ a b c d TFSI combines turbocharger and FSI. The badge simply states
2.0 T though.
^ a b In 2005 only available as DTM Edition. From summer 2006 on
available for all saloon and Avant.
^ There were two different versions – one had an 8 valve cylinder
head the other had 16 valves. They had the same power and torque
output and performed equally. Customers could not choose directly
between those two engines. They got the 16-valve version when they
ordered the DPF otherwise they got the 8-valve version. In many
countries the DPF became standard equipment for all B7 diesel engines
from model year 2006 on and the 8-valve engine was no more.

version of the same engine.

Safety[edit]
The
AudiAudi A4 offers many standard safety features, including Bosch
ESP 8.0 Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with anti-lock
braking system (ABS), side airbags in the seats, 'sideguard' curtain
airbags, and its optional quattro four-wheel drive system. It also
received the
Insurance Institute for Highway SafetyInsurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) "Top Safety
Pick For 2007".[25][26] EuroNCAP crash test results from the B6 apply
to the B7 model.

AudiAudi released the first official pictures of the B8 series A4 in
August 2007, and unveiled the car to the public at the September 2007
Frankfurt Motor Show. Saloon/sedan and Avant (estate/wagon) models are
offered. The Avant was unveiled to the public at the March 2008 Geneva
Motor Show. For North America destined models, the B8 continued in
production for the 2016 model year, while Europe began deliveries on
the 2016 B9 model.
The B8 A4 is built on a variant of the
AudiAudi Modular Longitudinal
Platform, a platform which is also used in the
AudiAudi A5 coupé. Whilst
prior A4 chassis were limited in wheelbase due to the relationship
between the engine, transmission and front axle, the MLP allows for a
reduced front overhang, resulting in a greater wheelbase length
without the same increase in overall length.[30] This effectively
redistributes the centre of gravity slightly rearwards, improving
handling by better balancing vehicle mass between the front and rear
axles. The estimated static front:rear weight ratio of the B8 A4 is
approximately 55:45, depending on body style and engine. The
relocation of the steering rack in front of the axle also improves
handling over previous A4 platforms.[citation needed] Key to the
implementation of MLB is the novel mounting of the differential in
front of the clutch. This is achieved by driving the flywheel/clutch
remotely by means of a 'top hat' shaped drive plate, between which the
differential lay shaft passes, whilst power transmission to the final
drive is via an inclined transfer shaft which runs the length of the
transmission unit. Whilst the platform retains Audi's "overhung"
engine mounting position, the front axle is now 152mm further forward
than the previous B6/B7 generation platform.[31] The transfer shaft
however has the effect of creating a large "bulge" on one side of the
transmission tunnel, which on right-hand drive versions forces the
pedals to be badly offset, which has attracted criticism from the
British motoring press in particular.
The B8 A4 has increased in wheelbase by 160 millimetres (6.3 in)
and in length by 117 millimetres (4.6 in) over the prior B7,
which has allowed for increased rear seating legroom. Although the
overall dimensions have increased, the kerb weight has dropped some
10%. The boot (trunk) has also increased to 480 litres
(17.0 cu ft) for the saloon (sedan) version. The A4 Avant
will have a maximum capacity of 1,430 L (50.5 cu ft)
with the rear seats folded down.
Reception has been mixed, with praise for the
AudiAudi A4's increased
size, giving it best-in-class rear legroom and trunk space in the
compact executive car segment.[32] Its inline-4 2.0 TFSI engine, while
efficient providing plenty of torque, was considered lacking and less
refined compared to 6-cylinder engines of lighter rivals who posted
faster acceleration times. However, the
Audi S4Audi S4 sports sedan has been
well-received for its V6 3.0 TFSI engine's power and
efficiency.[33][34][35]
The B8 A4 was facelifted in early 2012.
During a model cycle changes are made to integrate new technologies
and to keep the model competitive. These changes are referenced based
on the model year (MY) of the car. In Australia, the B8 has undergone
2 revisions leading to three variants, the B8, B8 MY10[36] and B8
MY11.

The A4 allroad quattro was made available in early summer 2009.[39]
The car was unveiled in 2009 Geneva Motor Show.[40]
Specifications[edit]
Body styles[edit]

The quattro permanent four-wheel drive system uses the latest Torsen
T-3 centre differential, with a default 40:60 front to rear asymmetric
torque distribution ratio (used first on the B7 RS4) as standard.
(Previous A4 quattro models split torque with a default front:rear
50:50). The additional torque bias applied to the rear wheels helps
mimic the driving dynamics of rear wheel drive cars.
AudiAudi was reported to stop offering 3.2L V6 models in 2010 model
year,[45] but still offers them as of August 2011 (Germany).
All petrol engines use
Fuel Stratified InjectionFuel Stratified Injection (FSI), and all diesel
engines use the common rail fuel delivery (with a pressure of 1,600
bars (23,000 psi)), with piezo injectors of their Turbocharged
Direct Injection engines.

The facelift model
AudiAudi A4 came in 2011. It features redesigned LED
headlamps and tail lights, front air dam with fog lamps, and closely
set twin exhausts. Interior changes include a three-spoke steering
wheel and a redesigned ignition key. Controls for air-conditioning,
infotainment, and power windows gain chrome clasps. Other detail
interior changes include larger steering column stalk switches first
seen in the D4-series
AudiAudi A8 and a simplified layout for the HVAC
control panel – for example the temperature setting for the heated
seats is now directly set by a single button and is no longer
controlled using the MMI dial. The A4 includes radio with eight
speakers as standard, while MMI navigation system with voice dialogue
is optional. A new "Drive Select System" allows drivers to choose
comfort, dynamic, individual, or efficiency modes for fuel efficiency.
Power output of the 1.8 TFSI engine is 170 BHP and 320 Nm of torque
– up 10 BHP and 70 Nm from the previous versions. Electro-mechanical
power steering is standard.
In Europe, the wide range of
AudiAudi A4 saloon and Avant estate are
available with the 1.8 TFSI, 2.0 TFSI gasoline engine, as well as 2.0
TDI, 2.0 TDIe, and 3.0 TDI diesel motor. Trim levels are Attraction,

American market until the 2017 model year, while the S4 variant would
not be available until the 2018 model year.

The next-generation B9 version of the A4 was revealed in June 2015 –
the fifth model to carry the A4 badge, and the ninth generation of the
AudiAudi 80/A4 series overall. Pre-production versions were released to
the motoring press, whilst the official launch occurred at the
Frankfurt Motor ShowFrankfurt Motor Show in September 2015. The B9 is slightly larger than
the outgoing B8, but
